From social networking sites to game design, from blogs to game play, and from fan fiction to commercial web sites, Girl Wide Web 2.0 offers a complex portrait of millennial girls online. Grounded in an understanding of the ongoing evolution in computer and internet technology and in the ways in which girls themselves use that technology, the book privileges studies of girls as active producers of computer/Internet content, and incorporates an international/intercultural perspective so as to extend our understanding of girls, the Internet, and the negotiation of identity.
Sharon R. Mazzarella (Ph.D., University of Illinois) is Professor and Director of the School of Communication Studies at James Madison University. Her research interests are in girls’ studies and the representational politics of mediated portrayals of youth. She is editor of 20 Questions about Youth and the Media (Peter Lang, 2007), Girl Wide Web: Girls, the Internet, and the Negotiation of Identity (Peter Lang, 2005), and co-editor of Growing Up Girls: Popular Culture and the Construction of Identity (Peter Lang, 1999).
